Dr^-Thomas El$a- Jones, the '* president. The audience was of the bek. citizens, white and colored, their ibeing about three: hundred of prominent citizens of the former. ThoTen(latinn of the various songs by the quartette showed that" they have been carefully trained and the so'ngs were thoroughly enjoyed, After the musical program Dr Jones in beginning his talk said he realized that many had come only for the purpose of enjoying the musical numbers by the Quartette and that a?" the program was at an end it would not be regarded as bad manners if any should go Tjefore he begun his address. Byt the President was wrong in his surmise. Seemirigly the auTIulnce had come,not only to anjoy. the magic-but to. haar him for not a person departed. Dr. "Jone> then begun' perhaps one of the most soul stirring addresses heard in this city. JLIe_told in simple language of the work in which he had been -engaged before going to Fisk; of the . conditions' upon which he accepted the presidency; the failure of those conditions, but notwithstandaing such--failure. Why he stuck?. Most eloquently did he then picture the conditions which called for such a school as Fisk. As he unfolded these cuiiuittuiis anu iiuuw upuu LIIC i_anvass 5f the imagination his drean' of the future Fisk, it could be easily felt that he had captured the sympathy and well wisher's'of the audience When he had concluded, he was given an ovation.
